Welcome to Early Childhood: Typical & Atypical Development, an interactive distance learning course which explores contemporary best practice and perspectives on early childhood development. Content includes patterns and sequences of typical development for children from birth to six years. Emphasis is on individual differences, cultural influences, and the impact of developmental delay and disability during infancy, toddlerhood, and the preschool years. Discussion will also include instructional technology (IT) and assistive technology (AT) applications for this population.
This computer-based instruction course is a self-supporting program that provides instruction, structured practice, and evaluation all on your home or school computer. Technical support information can be found, in the Help section of your course.

Title: Early Childhood: Typical & Atypical Development
Instructor: Darcie Donegan, MA/Ed.
Publisher: Virtual Education Software, inc.2008
Academic Integrity Statement
The structure and format of most distance-learning courses presume a high level of personal and academic integrity in completion and submission of coursework. Individuals enrolled in a distance-learning course are expected to adhere to the following standards of academic conduct.
Academic Work
Academic work submitted by the individual (such as papers, assignments, reports, tests) shall be the student's own work or appropriately attributed, in part or in whole, to its correct source. Submission of commercially prepared (or group prepared) materials as if they are one's own work is unacceptable.
Aiding Honesty in Others
The individual will encourage honesty in others by refraining from providing materials or information to another person with knowledge that these materials or information will be used improperly.
Violations of these academic standards will result in the assignment of a failing grade and subsequent loss of credit for the course.
Level of Application
course is designed as one part of a five-part series on early childhood
education. Upon completion of all five
courses, you will have covered all of the
Course Objectives
· Identify sequences of developmental milestones in cognitive, social, motor, and communication domains for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
· Specify individual differences in development that are influenced by child characteristics, as well as family and cultural expectations.
· Adjust interactions with individual children (based on developmental status and unique characteristics) and with individual families (based on unique family culture and dynamics).
· Select toys, books, and activities that support the development of young children, including those with special needs, individually and in small groups.
· Provide resources for parents of young children, and for continued professional development, including: developmental information on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; services for young children with special needs; sources of equipment, supplies, and instructional and resource materials.
Course Description
The first chapter will present an introduction to the study of child development from conception to age 6. We will examine the historical roots and methods of child study, major psychological theories, and developmental principles and definitions. This information will provide grounding for the following chapters on specific ages and developmental areas.
In the second chapter we will start to study child development chronologically. We begin with conception and growth before birth. This overview will include both typical and atypical conception, pregnancy, prenatal development and care, labor, and birth. Next, we consider the special characteristics and needs of the newly delivered baby, including common developmental variations.
The third chapter starts with the end of the newborn period and covers infants from one to 12 months. The tremendous growth and development of infants in each domain--motor, cognitive, language, and social-emotional—is detailed. Milestones, developmental variations, and red flags will be included for each area. Next, we will focus on toddlers. Although there is no exact age when infancy ends and toddlerhood begins, we will study children in the second and third years of life (or ages 1 and 2). The rapid blossoming of abilities in all domains in this stage of life, from learning to talk to jumping and playing, is covered in this chapter.
Finally, chapter four discusses early childhood, called the magic years (Fraiberg, 1959), of children 3-6 years old. The preschool period is a time of great discovery, testing and wonder. Students will learn about typical and varied preschool development in many areas—moral, social, self-esteem, early learning, motor skills, communication abilities, and more . Some information about the development of young school-age children is also included in this section. Indicators, or red flags, indicating developmental delay or deviation are detailed in all chapters.
Each chapter contains additional handouts or attachments that cover specific topics from the chapter in greater depth. They are provided for you to read, ponder, and apply to the early childhood education setting in which you work. Some of the topics are intended for you, as the professional, while others are intended for you to pass on to parents, when appropriate. After completing each chapter, you will be required to take an examination and pass it with a score of 70% or better in order to move on to the next chapter.
Student Expectations
As a student, you will be expected to:
· Complete all information chapters covering Typical & Atypical Development, showing a competent understanding of the material presented.
· Complete all chapter exams covering Typical & Atypical Development, showing a competent understanding of the material presented.
· Complete a review of any chapter on which your examination score was below 70%.
· Retake any examination, after completing an information review, to increase that examination score to a minimum of 70% (maximum of three attempts). *Please note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score requirements are.

Boston Public Garden
Boston Public Garden Review
Although the Boston Public Garden is often lumped together with Boston Common, the two are separate entities with different histories and purposes and a distinct boundary between them at Charles Street. The Common has been public land since Boston was founded in 1630, whereas the Public Garden belongs to a newer Boston, occupying what had been salt marshes on the edge of the Common. By 1837 the tract was covered with an abundance of ornamental plantings donated by a group of private citizens. The area was defined in 1856 by the building of Arlington Street, and in 1860 the architect George Meacham was commissioned to plan the park.
The central feature of the Public Garden is its irregularly shaped pond, intended to appear, from any vantage point along its banks, much larger than its nearly 4 acres. Near the Swan Boat dock is what has been described as the world's smallest suspension bridge, designed in 1867 to cross the pond at its narrowest point.
The Public Garden is America's oldest botanical garden, and has the finest formal plantings in central Boston. The beds along the main walkways are replanted for spring and summer. The tulips during the first two weeks of May are especially colorful, and there's a sampling of native and European tree species.
The dominant work among the park's statuary is Thomas Ball's equestrian George Washington (1869), which faces the head of Commonwealth Avenue at the Arlington Street gate. This is Washington in a triumphant pose as liberator, surveying a scene that, from where he stood with his cannons at Dorchester Heights, would have included an immense stretch of blue water. Several dozen yards to the north of Washington (to the right if you're facing Commonwealth Avenue) is the granite-and-red-marble Ether Monument, donated in 1866 by Thomas Lee to commemorate the advent of anesthesia 20 years earlier at nearby Massachusetts General Hospital. Other Public Garden monuments include statues of the Unitarian preacher and transcendentalist William Ellery Channing, at the corner opposite his Arlington Street Church; Edward Everett Hale, the author (The Man Without a Country) and philanthropist, at the Charles Street Gate; and the abolitionist senator Charles Sumner and the Civil War hero Colonel Thomas Cass, along Boylston Street.
The park contains a special delight for the young at heart; follow the children quack-quacking along the pathway between the pond and the park entrance at Charles and Beacon streets to the Make Way for Ducklings bronzes sculpted by Nancy Schön, a tribute to the 1941 classic children's story by Robert McCloskey.
Swan Boats. The pond has been famous since 1877 for its foot-pedal-powered (by a captain) Swan Boats, which make leisurely cruises during warm months. The pond is favored by ducks and swans, and for the modest price of a few boat rides you can amuse children here for an hour or more. 617/522–1966. www.swanboats.com. Swan Boats $3 adults; $1.50 children. Swan Boats mid-Apr.–June 20, daily 10–4; June 21–Labor Day, daily 10–5; day after Labor Day–mid-Sept., weekdays noon–4, weekends 10–4.

Video: Omaha's best French fries
* * *
Winner: Tie between Dario's Brasserie and Bronco's.
Omaha french fry lovers have no shortage of options. There's the fast-food fry, the gourmet fry, the crinkle cut and the waffle, the fancy fry loaded with truffle oil or sizzled in duck fat.
No matter the type, though, in our search for the city's best french fry, members of this month's Food Prowl team longed most for one thing: The throwback fry that doesn't come out of a freezer bag.
We found it twice, and our search ended in a tie, with choices on the opposite ends of the dining spectrum.
This month's opinionated panel included Diane Zipay, director of nutrition and catering services for District 66 schools, who has taste-tested literally hundreds of fries for Omaha students; Diane's foodie husband, John Zipay; and Karin Kingkade, married to Omaha chef Ryan Kingkade and the mother of four french fry-loving children.
Per tradition, we immediately started talking fries and standards. We wanted a thin fry, not a steak fry or a waffle fry. Though we'd consider fries with seasoning, we mostly were after a more bare-bones classic. And most of all, the fries had to be hot, crispy and not too greasy.
4540 Leavenworth St.
broncoburgers.com for additional locations
At Bronco's, at 48th and Leavenworth Streets, one of John's favorite places, the team had high expectations. The old-school Omaha burger joint is known for its hand-cut fries.
We ordered one classic french fry and a second order of Laredo fries (and a burger and two pork tenderloins, just for good measure).
The fries weren't nearly as greasy as I had recalled, and were hot, fresh and clearly hand-cut. They looked different than the others we'd seen. The exterior, slightly mottled, clearly came from a "real" potato. The fries all were a little imperfect and some had bits of skin still attached.
They weren't the prettiest fries, but the flavor was something else entirely.
"It tastes like a real potato," Karin said. "And the inside seems fuller."
Diane agreed.
"There is no way these are out of a freezer bag," she said.
The fries at Bronco's aren't salted, so we added our own. The flavor was indeed pure potato and the texture was both light and crispy. We didn't love the seasoned and waffle-cut Laredo fries, however. We devoured the classic fries and left the others almost untouched.
We had a front-runner in Bronco's, with one last stop to make at Dario's in Dundee, another place known for fries.
Dario's Brasserie
4920 Underwood Ave.
We met again at Dario's in Dundee, another place known for fries.
The atmosphere at Dario's couldn't have been more different than that of Bronco's. At Bronco's, the fries come in a printed paper sack and we ate them quickly off a red tray with paper napkins.
At Dario's — a low-lit, French Brasserie where the napkins are cloth and the atmosphere is classy — the fries arrived in a cone with two dipping sauces: thyme-spiked mayo and unadorned ketchup. We ordered two batches. Though the first batch had some darker fries and a few limp ones, the second batch was outstanding: hot, crispy and golden-hued.
These fries, also hand-cut, had the same mottled exterior as those at Bronco's. They were a deeper hue of gold, though, and had fewer imperfections. The outside breaks with a soft crunch and the inside is perfectly fluffy and just dense enough.
Their potato flavor was intense and rich and the salt level was spot-on.
A few of the fries at Dario's were stuck together — three of the four tasters loved that handmade detail — and the paper inside the cone wasn't too greasy.
The team wavered as voting time came. Karin went first, casting her vote for Dario's because of their depth. I voted for Dario's, too — I've returned to eat these fries again and again, and I'm always satisfied. They're like the fries at Bronco's, but they're dressed up for a night on the town.
The Zipays both went for the old-school Bronco's fries. John couldn't find a fry he liked more than his lifelong favorite, and Diane said she'd been thinking about those fries since our lunch there.
Though we ended split, no one seemed particularly sad. Mostly, we loved the contrast.
"It's like the best upscale fry," Karin said, "and the best fast-food fry. Both were about as fresh as you could get."
The other contenders:
Amsterdam Falafel and Kabob
620 N. 50th St.
We met at Amsterdam in Dundee, where the scent of the restaurant's well-known curry fries wafted out the door to meet us.
The Amsterdam fries arrived, sizzling hot and coated with a good layer of heavily-scented curry powder, a bit hot and a bit spicy. Four tiny, pale green forks stuck out of the top of the sizable heap. The fries came with mayonnaise and ketchup for dipping.
Diane separated herself as a fry expert: She peeled back the outer crust to take a look inside and nodded approvingly at the fluffy center.
We all liked the Amsterdam fries — the mayo dip was especially popular paired with the spicy curry — but Diane thought the spice might be a touch heavy-handed for some. Karin liked the fries, but she said the slightly gritty texture of the spices made a dipping sauce especially necessary. It keeps the fries moist once you start to chew and absorbs some of the powdery texture. I agreed with her — I always load my Amsterdam fries with ketchup.
We pushed leftover fries to the side of the basket paper and took a gander at grease. Amsterdam's paper was yellow with curry powder and not too greasy.
Lighthouse Pizza
1004 S. 74th St.
At the request of readers, we headed to Lighthouse Pizza, which just released a new french fry menu. We sampled two — garlic Parmesan and truffle. Lighthouse has more exotic choices, including fries topped with pulled pork.
Diane told us the restaurant is a hangout for Westside High School students and she was right: While we waited, I saw at least four girls in Westside T-shirts eating pizza during the noon hour.
We liked the sauces at Lighthouse, and the creativity of their fries, but the fries themselves were inconsistent.
The Parmesan garlic fries were mostly hot and crispy, though two of our tasters wanted more salt.
Diane and Karin both love salt; John is a fan of self-applied salt to adjust his own levels. I fell somewhere in the middle, but all of us agreed that these fries could have been saltier. I also wished the garlic was more prominent.
The second batch, with the truffle sauce, had many floppy fries and a few dark brown, soggy ones. The sauce wasn't the culprit of the soggy fries: Though it was on top, it was too thick to sink into them.
I would have preferred a bigger hit of truffle — admittedly, I expect a lot from anything "truffle" and this didn't have the distinct flavor I love.
We took the paper out of the baskets, and the grease level was low. When Diane examined the fries, the inside was denser instead of fluffy like the fries at Amsterdam.
5051 Center St.
Runza.com for additional locations
We reconvened at Runza near 50th and Center Streets.
Our two large orders of fries came sizzling hot, clearly just out of the fryer, and salty. They were the only crinkle-cut fries we saw.
"This is an authentic fry," John said.
They were soft on the inside and crisp outside. Diane thought Runza's fatter fries with the zig-zag cut start crispy and stay crispy longer than other cuts. Karin agreed that even in a take-out bag, Runza fries can stand the test of time.
The boxes here were greasier than others, but not necessarily in a bad way.
"There's nothing wrong with greasy fries," she said, "as long as it's grease with a purpose."

Apart from its huge Stealth Rock weakness, you probably couldn't find anything noticeably wrong with Charizard. It has decent stats with a fantastic movepool; however, the reason that Charizard is banished to the depths of NU is the fact that its sets are either outclassed by a better Pokemon or just plain ineffective in the metagame it's trying to compete in. Nonetheless, Charizard is still very capable of being quite deadly in the right hands.
Charizard is most effective as a special attacker; although it seems outclassed by Moltres, which hits a lot harder, Charizard still has some useful perks over the fire bird. Firstly, Charizard's base 100 Speed allows it to outrun, and prevent itself from being revenge killed, by Pokemon that would outspeed Moltres, such as Rotom and Arcanine. Secondly, Charizard's ability, Blaze, gives its Fire-type attacks a significant boost when its health falls below 33%. Charizard's Fire-type STAB attack has excellent coverage alongside its secondary STAB move, Air Slash, while Hidden Power Grass hits Pokemon that resist both Fire- and Flying-type moves. Roost allows Charizard to recover health from Life Orb recoil and Stealth Rock damage.
The choice between Fire Blast and Flamethrower boils down to whether you prefer power or accuracy; Fire Blast is preferred since Charizard's Special Attack is comparatively poor to Moltres, and because it needs all the power it can get. Life Orb gives Charizard a boost in its power without locking it into a move.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With this set, Charizard aims to defeat its bulky Water-type counters. Again, Moltres largely outclasses Charizard in such a role, but Charizard's higher Speed and rare ability in Blaze help it compete for a team spot. After using Sunny Day, Charizard's Fire-type STAB attacks are powered up to ridiculous levels. In the sun, SolarBeam does not require its charging turn, allowing Charizard to 2HKO Milotic and Slowking, its two biggest counters. The last slot depends on how offensively you want Charizard to operate. Roost allows Charizard to recover from Stealth Rock and Life Orb recoil, while Air Slash gives Charizard maximum coverage. Finally, Charizard's item choice depends on the type of team it is in. If Charizard is part of a Sunny Day team, Heat Rock should be considered so Charizard can support the team as well as itself. Life Orb is preferred in most other cases due to the higher damage output it provides.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With usable Attack and Speed and a workable physical movepool, Dragon Dance Charizard can be very difficult to deal with late-game, especially if you're running an offensive team. With a single Dragon Dance under its belt, Charizard reaches 492 Speed, beating Choice Scarf Rotom and Hitmonlee, two of the fastest revenge killers commonly seen in UU. Flare Blitz is Charizard's main STAB move and is very powerful after a Dragon Dance. Even though Flare Blitz's recoil may be unappealing, Fire Punch is too weak at +1, and Charizard needs all the power it can get. Earthquake punishes Rock-types such as Rhyperior and Regirock, while ThunderPunch is Charizard's best answer to Water-types. Roost can used over Earthquake or ThunderPunch, but Charizard rarely finds opportunities to use both Roost and Dragon Dance.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With Charizard's naturally high Speed, it can forego Dragon Dance to boost its attack even further with Swords Dance, allowing it to reach a very high 534 Attack after a boost. Again, Flare Blitz is Charizard's main STAB for its sheer power, but since Charizard is now at +2 after a boost instead of +1, Fire Punch is acceptable if you don't like the absurd amount of residual damage that Charizard would be taking from Flare Blitz. For Charizard's coverage options, Earthquake hits Rock-types and ThunderPunch hits Water-types for super effective damage. Like the Dragon Dance set, Roost can be used over Earthquake or ThunderPunch, though Charizard finds it hard to boost and heal at the same time. Similarly, if your team is having trouble with Altaria, Dragon Claw can be used.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Charizard is the only Pokemon in the game, apart from Smeargle, to learn the combination of Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, and Belly Drum. BellyZard, once the epitome of an offensive powerhouse, is now possibly one of the highest-risk, relatively-lowest-reward sets in the 4th generation. Still, it is still quite potent when used unexpectedly. Utilizing BellyZard follows quite a strict format. The first step is to switch into a Pokemon that cannot hurt Charizard and scare it out, allowing for Charizard to set up Substitute. Proceed to use Belly Drum to max out Charizard's Attack stat while simultaneously activating Salac Berry and Blaze. From there, Charizard (hopefully) proceeds to sweep with 1068 Attack and 492 Speed. Fire Punch is Charizard's main STAB, which is boosted to acceptable levels with Blaze. ThunderPunch takes out bulky Water-types, while Earthquake takes out Rock-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Charizard has a very big movepool and many options that it can use. On the special side, Charizard has access to Focus Blast, Overheat, and Dragon Pulse, while on the physical side, it has Rock Slide, Focus Punch, and Return. A Choice Specs set is usable, but the 4x weakness to Stealth Rock really limits its ability switch in and out, not to mention that Moltres is a better candidate overall. Charizard can also use a Blaze + Sunny Day + Petaya Berry set that makes it absurdly powerful but, like the Belly Drum set, it is extremely hard to stop and difficult to set up. Charizard can also attempt a mixed wallbreaking set with Air Slash, Brick Break, Fire Blast, and Roost, but Charizard generally lacks the power to do so.
Checks and Counters
Charizard has two huge enemies; one is Stealth Rock, and the other is bulky Water-types. Milotic is the best general counter for Charizard, while Slowking can handle special variants and Slowbro can handle physical variants. Specially defensive Regirock is also an excellent check to Charizard, being able to take most of its attacks while OHKOing back with Stone Edge or Rock Slide. Chansey and Clefable wall any special variant of Charizard as well. In most cases, keep a priority user handy (especially Aqua Jet Azumarill), keep Stealth Rock on the field, don't give it a chance to set up, and you'll fare just fine.

I used this binding on a bass guitar neck. The binding is very attractive with a rich color and I haven't oiled it yet. It glued well using CA.
These are high quality and very nice. They are really a quick way to get a real custom look without any extra effort over regular plain wood bindings.
I have always made my own maple binding but thought I would try something different. SM's wood bindings are easy to apply, easy to trim, take finish well and look good when done.
the Bloodwood binding is just perfect. Color is awesome,I highly recommend it
I bought the curly maple with b/w/b trim for an OM model I am building. I bought several extras knowing I would probably break a few getting the hang of bending. I have only used plastic bindings in my previous builds. Sure enough...broke a couple until I figured out a steaming/bending process that worked great. These bindings are going to make my new Spruce/Mahogany OM pop.
I have used SM's wood bindings and purfling for numerous instruments. Always accurate, solid, and high quality materials for good looks. Like most things I purchase here I have had no problems, only successes.
I use these bindings almost exclusively. I find them to be accurately and evenly cut, which, together with an accurately cut binding ledge, make for perfect bindings.
came in a nice proper package, matches the color i needed, precisely trimmed
These are perfectly black and perfectly dimensioned.
I bought the ebony wbw binding. i bought five strips and one of them broke during bending. Other than that i'm very pleased with them.

It could be any number of things all of which could only be checked out on-site.
Is this a single handle valve that you have in the shower?
Hi all, I have a leak in my shower and not sure why!
It is a tile shower....what happens is when finished with a shower the wall to the back of the shower (on either side of the door) toward the floor will be wet...the woodwork will be wet as well...I tried caulking some of the grout lines but that did not help. I am not sure if the shower is some how leaking or if it is the pipes in the...any input is so very much apprecaited...thanks
It could be any number of things all of which could only be checked out on-site.
Is this a single handle valve that you have in the shower?
I was afraid of that...yes it is a single handle and shower head. It is a oversize shower...only gets wall wet when running if that helps....
I appreciate your thoughts on it.
I would take off the handle and escutchion.
Take a look inside the hole while it is running, and see if any thing can be seen leaking from above or, at the valve itself...
Sure beats getting destructive right off the bat.
Do you know the brand and model of the valve?
A small mirror and a light may be helpfull to see more inside the wall.
If you do not want to remove the valve's plate, try unscrewing the shower arm from the wall. If it falls out into your hand, that is where the leak was.
good idea!
im thinking too the more i talk is that it might be the actual base. because the water runs up the wall not down...if that makes sense?
Soldered connections, done right, don't typically come apart! But, on many valve assemblies, they give you the option of either screwing in the pipe or soldering it in, some use the threaded connection. This could be the source of a leak. No easy way to fix it except if it is the shower arm, since one end is free to disconnect it. All other connections usually require cutting, then putting back together.
If the shower arm is loose, that's a good leak potential site. If they didn't use tape or pipe dope, it will leak as it will if it isn't tight enough. It's hard to crack a metal fitting, but if there's any plastic in there, tightening it too much could cause it to fail.

Description: In this actioner, a gun runner gets a job as a marine biologist while stranded in the Middle East. He quickly finds out that his new employer and his wife are really treasure seekers looking for bullion. Unfortunately, the gold lies in deep, shark-filled water. Tragically, while the movie was being shot, a stuntman really was killed by a shark.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The Mont Blanc Story
The company's seemingly humble beginnings took the fountain pen to new heights and laid the foundation for the future of Mont Blanc internationally. For over one hundred years, the brand has still managed to retain its values on quality and traditional craftsmanship.
In the early 90s, the company started to expand its brand and product line from large leather bags and perfumes, to jewellery, watches and eyewear. The brand's success continues to grow, thanks to its clever strategy for product diversification.
The eyewear collection was first launched in 2001. Leading optical manufacturer, Marcolin agreed to produce and distribute the brand's eyewear through a licensed agreement. This means that Marcolin are the only authorised manufacturers of Mont Blanc optical and sun eyewear collections. The brand's decision to move into eyewear brought them great success.
The Eyewear Collection
Mont Blanc eyewear combines together style and function; sometimes it is the most simplistic creation that is the most beautiful. Instead of going over-the-top with unnecessary adornments as you may notice with some high-street eyewear models, Mont Blanc focuses on simplicity and minimalism.
The eyewear designs emphasize the natural curves and curling lines of the frames. The colour palette chosen for the optical collection compliments the product itself. Some frames have a contrast of colours to bring something modern to the audience.
The optical frames in the collection have a classic style; there's a wide variety of classic frame shapes and colours. Most of the frames are made of metal but there are some acetate frames. If you are allergic to nickel, it is highly advised that you pick from the collection's acetate selection. You will also find that there is more variety with the choice of colours with the acetate frames.
Mont Blanc Artwork
The brand's eyewear collection was created by artist, Marius Watz. The brilliant designs were created on the computer using software processes and computer coding. Watz is mostly known for his use of vivid colours and geometric compositions in design.

Explore Rhodes, the biggest island of the archipelago called Dodecanese. Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site.

An in-depth look at the second half of this year's Top Truck Champions' Challenge rigs
Last month we gave you a detailed look at nine of this year's Top Truck Champions' Challenge (TTCC) rigs. This month we delve into the second half of the 18-vehicle field.
What is TTCC? Well, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the legendary Top Truck Challenge, and to celebrate we've invited all of the past champions of Top Truck back to Hollister Hills, California, to compete in an unprecedented, history-making, weeklong mega-throwdown on seven of the gnarliest challenges known in the wheeling world.
Top Truck began in 1993 and it has morphed considerably through the years to adapt to the changing world of off-road competition. Nowadays, Top Truck is lean and focused. Competitors at this year's Top Truck Champions' Challenge will compete in our seven famous events consisting of the Tow Test, Frame Twister, Mud Pit, Obstacle Course, Hill Climb, Mini Rubicon, and Tank Trap.
Past champions are invited to drive the rig they originally competed with or something completely different. What's interesting is that the majority of TTCC competitors have chosen to drive their TTC-winning rigs. Others have created new rigs and some have even borrowed rigs.
Over the next several pages you can read a detailed overview of the second half of this year's TTCC rigs (in no particular order) along with some comments from the drivers. Next month we'll roll out the monster TTCC story and it'll offer a detailed look at how each competitor did in each event. It was an incredible week of competition that generated some mind boggling drama and action. Some of the rigs ended up battered and bent, so get a good look at these vehicles over the next several pages and in last month's issue of Four Wheeler, because many won't look this way for long.
Name: Dave Green
Champion in: 2009
Driving: 2004 homemade buggy
Dave Green made history in 2009 when he drove his diesel-powered buggy to a narrow win. Why did this make history? Well, up until that point all of the TTC winners had been driving gasoline-powered rigs. Green's win was also impressive because he drove with 32 stitches in a few of his fingers after an unfortunate run in with his rig's engine cooling fan the day before competition began. He's coming to TTCC with his rig virtually unchanged from 2009.

Most memorable moment from 2009: "I guess it would be not being at the meet and greet BBQ. I was at the hospital in Hollister getting three of my fingers put back together."
Wants First Place in: "Like almost everyone else said, Tank Trap (double points)."
"I have a great sense of humor and get along with almost everyone."

"The virtualization program, so successfully delivered by IBM, means that we're ready to do business, and we've got the capacity within our infrastructure to meet our growth plans." - Hugh May, IT and change director, Suffolk Life
Suffolk Life
Financial Markets
Deployment country:
United Kingdom
Suffolk Life was running out of available floor space as well as power and cooling capacity in its data center, limiting growth potential. The business teamed with IBM Global Technology Services - Integrated Technology Services to reengineer and virtualize its server environment.
Business need:
After years of sustained growth, Suffolk Life was running out of available power, cooling and floor space capacity in its primary data center, limiting overall growth potential for the business.
Suffolk Life joined with IBM® Global Technology Services® – Integrated Technology Services to virtualize its server estate, consolidating 66 physical systems onto six IBM System x® servers.
With IBM, the organization cut its energy costs nearly 40 percent while more than doubling available capacity for IT systems. It also reduced deployment times and simplified compliance efforts.
Case Study
The scale of investment choice and flexibility offered by high end self-invested personal pension (SIPP) providers combined with ever-changing financial regulation demands secure, controlled yet adaptable administration systems. Suffolk Life seeks to help its customers navigate their SIPP plans with professional, contemporary, focused and experienced plan administration.
"We are a specialist self-invested personal pension provider," explains Hugh May, IT and change director at Suffolk Life. "We play predominately in the high net worth space, and we were one of the first SIPP providers set up in the UK."
Bound by success
Since its founding, Suffolk Life has grown considerably, accumulating gross assets of more than GBP4.0 billion by early 2012 and on behalf of more than 16,000 investors. In fact, the organization has seen a steady increase in its overall business over the previous seven years, and along with that growth, increased demands on its IT.
"We'd run out of space in the allotted server room," recalls Ian Long, head of IT at Suffolk Life. "Power consumption was high, and cooling was as well. Our existing hardware was in a state of aging—it was all coming to the end of its financial and useful life." Deploying new equipment in this environment was also time-consuming, typically requiring weeks to roll out and configure new hardware and associated software systems.
This inflexible, overburdened architecture, in turn, was driving up costs and hampering the organization's continued growth efforts. Mr. Long elaborates, stating: "We had a number of significant projects in the business that required new technology and new functionality. Without a new data center, we would have been unable to introduce the systems needed to support that going forward. The restrictions around IT risked stagnating the business."
Suffolk Life began looking for a new data center solution that would help it update its operations and reengineer the infrastructure enabling profitable growth.
Power in planning
Because its parent company, Legal & General Group plc, had undertaken a similar initiative with IBM, Suffolk Life joined with IBM Global Technology Services – Integrated Technology Services to modernize its IT architecture. The IBM staff initiated the modernization effort by evaluating the company's existing environment in terms of business risk, system dependencies and application affinities.
Armed with this information and established IBM methodologies, the Integrated Technology Services team drafted a virtualization and migration schedule that consolidated the company's physical servers from 66 boxes to only six servers. The IBM team also oversaw the migration of 60 business applications to the new environment, the equipment for which was distributed between the company's primary data center and its recovery location. With the rollout of the new environment completed, the IBM team also assisted with testing efforts to promote operational efficiencies, such as educating the Suffolk Life staff on the process to add new virtual servers with just a few keystrokes.
Saving with simplicity
With such a dramatic reduction in physical systems to maintain, Suffolk Life quickly recognized the benefits of virtualizing its architecture. Adds Mr. May: "I think there is clear evidence already—in the relatively short space of time since we've cut over to live—that the investment we made is meeting the objective of supporting significant and sustained growth as both business volumes and business complexity go forward. What we've done is take away much of the infrastructure hygiene factor that had become a constraint on underlying business activity."
The organization can now deploy new, virtual environments in a matter of hours, offering the flexibility to manage critical information and business processes while driving out inefficiencies to strategically meet shifting business needs. At the same time, the smaller physical footprint helps to cut energy costs while freeing up floor space within the server room for future growth. Current estimates indicate that the business cut its power consumption by nearly 40 percent while more than doubling its capacity.
Growth through compliance
Along with the internal values offered by the data center reengineering, Suffolk Life sees additional improvements in its compliance efforts. Within the UK financial sector, many businesses are struggling to meet the transparency and consumer-protection demands established by the Financial Services Authority under its Retail Distribution Review (RDR) program. And the flexibility of the new virtualized architecture helps Suffolk Life to simplify its restructuring efforts by reducing the lead time for new systems.
"A lot of our competitors are heavily involved in RDR compliance programs, while we are substantially advanced in terms of our readiness to do business in the new, regulated environment," concludes Mr. May. "The virtualization program, so successfully delivered by IBM, means that we're ready to do business, and we've got the capacity within our infrastructure to meet our growth plans. It's giving us an opportunity to make this business bigger and more successful at a time when competitors are very much focused on ensuring that they are in a baseline position."

Bed & Breakfast New Day is only 100 meters from the Basilica of San Francesco in the historical center of Assisi. It is an oasis of tranquility and peace to visit the birthplace of St. Francis and St. Clare. On the second floor of a medieval palace of the 1400, completely renovated in 1997, you will find two beautiful and comfortable rooms. You can absorb the atmosphere of a medieval house tastefully furnished in rustic style. There is 1 double room with bathroom and 1 single bedroom with adjacent bathroom for exclusive use. In the B&B New Day you will find a warm welcome, a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, with all the special attention to detail. Breakfast is served daily with a variety of products. We want to make you feel at home! Our motto? Quality, courtesy and attention to details. Moreover, In the B&B New Day you will be lulled by the sweet bells of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi.
This apartment is well placed in Assisi in that it is easy to get to the sites as well as to the bus to get to the train station. The apartment, bathroom and dining area were were very clean. We were only staying one night and leaving early in the morning, so Pierfrancesco's wife ensured that our breakfast was available in the fridge and dining room area. Our only surprise was that although I had identified that my husband and I were travelling, we were placed in the single room with 1 bed and 1 cot even though it turned out the room with a double bed was not booked that night. In rereading the room description, I still note that both the single and double room are noted under the listing "Single room in the best B& B Assisi, so when booking we advise to be more explicit than we were.
The stay at Pierfrancesco׳s flat was great.
I was driving around Assisi in the late afternoon and did not have a room for the night. Fortunately, Pierfrancesco's response was immediate and he gave me precise directions to flat, where he was already waiting for me.
The house is perfectly located in the middle of the town, enabling easy access to all the main attractions.
The room was nice and cosy with a private bathroom. Breakfast was prepared by Pierfrancesco's wife and was very nice.
I would defiantly recommend other people to stay at the best BNB in Assisi.
We had a wonderful one night stay at the Best Bed & Breakfast in Assisi. It is a terrific location; just a few minutes walk to the Basilica and it is close to all the restaurants and shops. The room itself is nicely decorated and very clean. Breakfast was generous with fresh fruit, yogurt, bread, cereal and a choice of beverages. Pierfrancesco and his wife were accommodating to our needs. We did have a problem connecting to the internet and Pierfrnacesco suggested an alternate way of connecting. We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking to enjoy a comfortable accommodation in Assisi.
I had a wonderful stay! I arrived early but it my room was already prepared and so I was able to move in right away. The location is great, extremely close to the Basilica of San Francesco, and a beautiful view of the countryside from my room. Breakfast was very generous, with lots of different options. Everyone I interacted with was extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely stay here again on another trip!
Absolutely fabulous location in Assisi, just down the road from St. Francis cathedral and close to everything else. Great price and it included breakfast as well! The hosts were very nice and welcoming, and had no problem with us bringing our dog. The only potential drawback was the narrow, steep, winding staircase...we had our 6 month old daughter with us and it was a bit nerve wracking to carry her up the stairs and our dog was not a big fan either...but it was doable. If you have a lot of luggage it might be difficult. Overall, though, great little place for the price!
We were moved to another of Pierfrancesco's residences which was perfectly located near the Basilica of St Francesco and close to restaurants. It was a lovely quiet street. Each morning we were served breakfast by Giulia who also helped us with directions on places to visit. I would definitely recommend this cosy bnb.
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
My friends and I were happy about our stay in Assisi. In fact we did not stay in the actual 'Best Bed and Breakfast Assisi' as our host had a problem with his water supply. But he was kind enough to book 2 other B&B for us which was fine. As we were 5 we were in 2 different B&B, but it did not matter. We were all very pleased , we were well look after and especially we were offered a very good breakfast which we appreciate.
Pierfrancesco is a great human being, if not for him we would have been stranded next a to crematorium as night approached.
We rented a car from Rome and were driving up to Assisi when we got a flat. When we called him, he drove from Assisi down to where we were and arranged everything over the phone in Italian, so that things could proceed smoothly with the car rental company (Not being able to speak Italian in this situation is very bad). He arranged with the mechanic to replace the tire instead of towing the car away (which is standard operating procedure), this saved us plenty of hassle and money.
After the tire was replaced we followed his car all the way to Assisi. This man is truly special and we highly recommend staying with him. He and his wife also run a very lovely store in Assisi.
We highly recommend staying with this man. He represents Assisi in all the best ways imagined.
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

"Don't nuke our climate!" say European youth
Whilst UN climate negotiations take place in Cancun, European youth have been taking action in Brussels to demand climate justice.
As part of an international day of action to oppose false solutions to the climate crisis on December 7, 30 young people from across Europe targeted European institutions and corporations which support and fund nuclear energy. The message was simple: nuclear power is unsustainable and unacceptably dangerous.
"Nuclear energy is promoted as a clean technology but the mining of uranium has massive social and environmental impacts and the problem of safe nuclear waste disposal is yet to be solved. Young people are being locked into an uncertain future where they will have to shoulder the burden of this false solution." Susi Hammel, Young Friends of the Earth Europe.
As part of a series of actions, youth demonstrated outside the European Commission to highlight its ongoing support for this dangerous technology. They also took action outside the Foratom offices, a powerful pro-nuclear lobby group, and BNP Paribas whose significant financial contributions enable the ongoing development of the nuclear industry.
"What we need are real solutions. If the negotiators in Cancun care about our future, they will choose renewable resources and opt for decentralised production and distribution of energy. This will empower communities to directly produce their energy from local, sustainable resources." said Sebastian Power from the Federation of Young European Greens.
The action took place as part of the '1000 Cancun's action day' called for by the International peasant farmers network La Via Campesina. Participants in the action are youth who have gathered from all over Europe for a two week long Climate Justice Convergence in Brussels, in parallel to the UN Climate talks in Mexico. For two weeks, over 60 young people have gathered to take action and demand climate justice.
